Product Details
Intercooler Kit by HKS®. All HKS Intercoolers improve both the efficiency and power of any turbocharged application by rapidly reducing inherent heat levels of the compressed intake air charge before entering the engine. By utilizing a special tube and fin design, the intercooler acts as a large heat exchanger that dissipates the heat generated by the compression of the intake charge without creating reductions in boost pressure or response.
Features
- Designed to deliver trouble-free, consistent performance

- Manufactured to meet or exceed strict quality requirements
Cooling performance
The performance of intercooler of stock is fine for normal stage, but for the tuned car of 1.2k boost-up (GT570, GT600 kit) can reach high temperature rapidly because of near flow capacity limitation of turbocharger which is that the stock core size is small capacity. To improve the cooling performance, more core capacity is required but a little bigger intercooler than the stock could not provide enough cooling performance. Therefore we have employed size of 400x260x65 and thinner core type for much better cooling performance.
Trimming weight
HKS Intercooler is lighter than the stock Intercooler that gives over-hang weight trimming effect.
(Stock: 9.6kg, HKS: 8.0kg)
Pressure loss
For losing pressure by the thinner core design we have revised inner fin to keep down the increasing pressure loss.
Influence to the water temperature
For the large capacity core, the air to radiator cause problem of rising temperature. We have solved this problem by making the core thinner which increases the speed of air passing through the radiator. We have tested at racing track with racer driver and confirmed the water temperature.
HKS® is one of leading manufacturers of performance automotive parts. It offers a comprehensive line of superior quality coilovers, downpipes, transmissions, drop-in filters, pistons, superchargers, and more. The purpose of the company's foundation was to manufacture performance engine components and turbo kits which surpass OE parts. HKS pioneered the Japanese aftermarket performance industry by offering the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller.
